Problems understanding the framework around a JXLoginPane example

问题

I've found a component called JXLoginPane from SwingX available in WindowBuilder and that seems like it would be a good starting point for what I am trying to do, but I need more information about how to use it. So far, the only thing I've found to really help me out with it is this 9-year-old blog post.

It does get me most of the way there, but there are several references to things like is.IS_Statics, is.MD5Hash, and isquote.Main that the author does not provide. I am guessing that these are classes he or she has created just for logins, but I've no idea how to create them for myself.

How can I flesh out what Ruxton has started on his blog? Or, for that matter, can someone recommend an even better alternative to JXLoginPane?

回答1:

All answers will depend on your requirements, but most important thing is you understand what JXLoginPane is and how it works. Then you will be able to understand that 9 years old post:

JXLoginPane: creates a panel with controls to authenticate users in a login based application.
LoginService: abstract base class that has to do the log-in logic and determine if user authentication is valid or not. It keeps an internal list of LoginListeners object that are notified on LoginEvents during the whole login process: login started, canceled, succeeded and failed.
PasswordStore: abstract class intended to safely store passwords typed by users in some kind of cache, in order to help LoginService to authenticate users. The actual mechanism used to store the passwords is left up to the implementation.
UserNameStore: same as PasswordStore but for user names.
LoginListener: this interface provides a contract to "listen" the current login process and act in consequence. For example if a login attempt fails for the same user 5 times you could block that user assuming someone is trying to hack that account, or if login process succeeded then you could create a new session entry in your database if you are interested in keep a log table with users sessions.

Now taking a quick look to that post, I think it's a database service based implementation combined with Preferences based users names cache for UserNameStore:

Class is.ISLoginService is the LoginService abstract base class implementation.
Class is.ISUserNameStore is the UserNameStore abstract class implementation.
There's no implementation for PasswordStore abstract class.
Class is.ISLoginListener is a LoginListener interface implementation.

Finally, regarding is.IS_Statics, is.MD5Hash, and isquote.Main seem to be utility classes of that specific project and have nothing to do with the essentials of JXLoginPane. You will probably have your own classes that help you with login process.

Simple example

Please consider this simple example that illustrates the concepts above described. You will see is not that difficult to make it work.

Note: there's no user name nor password store implementations.

Since you're just starting, I personally wouldn't use JXLoginPane. Coding your own Login Panel isn't very hard, and I think I great place to learn about coding gui's and using swing.

I'll have to assume you know the basics about using swing. If not, you'll really have to start right from scratch and go through the tutorials of how to create and use the basic swing components. I'd also recommend netbeans as your IDE, the GUI builder is pretty decent to start.

As for a login panel, at it's very basics, all you need are two JTextFields and a JButton. Everything else is basically just extra.

One JTextField will allow the user to enter their username, the other will take their password. You will put an action listener on the JButton that when pressed will look up somewhere to see if that username exists, and if it does, does the password match, then take the appropriate action -- ie, unlock the rest of the program to use, tell the user the password is wrong, etc, etc.

Perhaps this is a good simple example? http://www.novell.com/documentation/developer/samplecode/bns_ldap_sample/LoginSample/Login.java.html

There are two methods in here you will absolutely have to code yourself. doSearch() and doLogin(String fullName). If you're just learning, you could do something simple, like just hard coding in some usernames and passwords, or reading from a text file to see if there is a match instead of setting up and connecting to a database. doLogin can just be as simple as something like having all your JComponents disabled, then enabling them on a successful login.
